Cristina Demiany is a contemporary painter whose work reimagines mythology through the unseen moments in women’s stories, exploring transformation, tension, and psychological space.

​

Drawing from classical mythology and art history, her paintings shift attention away from well-known narrative climaxes toward quieter, more introspective moments that explore states of becoming, where identity is in flux and meaning is not yet resolved.

​

Working oils, her process emphasizes layered color and atmospheric depth, creating environments that feel immersive, emotionally charged, and suspended in time.

​

Prior to her current studio practice, Cristina led large-scale arts organizations at a national level, serving as Executive Director of the National Children’s Chorus of the United States, where she built and directed a multi-million dollar institution serving over 1,000 families. This experience continues to inform her perspective on both creative leadership and the business of art.

​

In addition to her studio work, Cristina is the host of The Professional Artist Podcast and an art business coach, where she helps artists build sustainable and successful careers.

 

Cristina holds a Master of Arts in Art Business from Sotheby’s Institute of Art and a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from the University of California, Los Angeles. She lives and works in Palm Springs, California.
